Popis: Background and Purpose-There is uncertainty whether bilateral near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used for monitoring of patients with acute stroke. Methods-The NIRS responsiveness to systemic and stroke-related changes was studied overnight by assessing the effects of brief peripheral arterial oxygenation and mean arterial pressure alterations in the affected versus nonaffected hemisphere in 9 patients with acute stroke. Results-Significantly more NIRS drops were registered in the affected compared with the nonaffected hemisphere (477 drops versus 184, P
